Hi I'm importing an Inkscape SVG file into a responsive project. The SVG has Spanish text characters in it i.e. ó, ñ - these do not display correctly in Captivate 9. I viewed the SVG in IE11 and Chrome and it displays correctly. In captivate i imported using both Media > SVG, and Import > library - both don't display correctly (i.e. in the library also). So i'm assuming the issue is with Captivate? Regards Donal.

Hi Mohana,

Update (after speaking to Adobe):

ISSUE: Spanish special characters not displaying correctly in SVG file that contains text

Here is how "úñ" is displayed:

Responsive projects:

Characters display incorrectly on stage/timeline/edit area but display correctly in Preview and Publish.

Non-responsive:

SWF - not supported - display incorrectly onstage, on preview, and when published.

HTML5 output - same as responsive projects.

SOLUTION:

You need to hard code the characters in the SVG file.




The HTML5 code for Spanish character is included in the “ISO-8859-1 Characters” section in the link below.
